Terms of Use
Values Card Sort ยท Last updated August 9, 2026
1. Agreement
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Everyday Insight LLC ("we", "us"), a California limited liability company. They cover the Values Card Sort mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and Android, and the website at myvaluescardsort.com (together, "the Service").
By tapping Accept in the app, or by using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
2. What Values Card Sort is
Values Card Sort is a self-reflection exercise. You sort 83 value cards into piles, narrow them to ten, choose and rank a top five, and write short reflections about what you chose. It is a structured way to think, and nothing more than that.
3. Not medical or professional advice
This matters more than anything else in these Terms, so it is stated plainly.
The Service is for education and personal reflection. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. It is not therapy, counseling, or medical, psychological, or legal advice, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional.
Using the Service does not create a therapist-client, clinician-patient, or other professional relationship between you and us.
If you are working with a clinician, the Service is a tool you might use alongside that care, not in place of it. Decisions about your health are between you and your own professional.
4. If you are in crisis
The Service is not a crisis service and no one monitors what you write in it.
If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number. In the United States you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which is free and available around the clock.
5. Who may use the Service
The Service is intended for a general audience. If you are under 18, please review these Terms with a parent or guardian before using it.
6. Your license to use the Service
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own reflection, and, if you are a clinician, with your own clients. You may not sell access to the Service, or present it as your own product.
We may suspend or end this license if the Service is used in breach of these Terms.
7. If you are a clinician
You are welcome to use the Service, the worksheets, and the printable card decks in your own practice. Doing so is your professional decision, and these Terms do not change what you already owe your clients.
You remain solely responsible for your clinical judgment, for the suitability of this exercise for a particular client, for your own professional, ethical, and licensing obligations, and for obtaining any consent your client should give before using it. We have no relationship with your clients, no visibility into your work, and no ability to supervise how the exercise is used.
The Service is not a HIPAA-covered service. It is not designed or offered as a service that handles protected health information, we are not a business associate, and we will not enter into a business associate agreement. There is no account system and no server of ours: anything a client writes stays on that person's own device, or in their own iCloud or Google Drive if they turn sync on. Do not use the Service to collect, transmit, or store protected health information, and do not ask a client to enter anything into it that you would not be comfortable holding outside your records system.
If you share exported results with a client, or record them in your own notes, those copies are yours to safeguard under your own obligations.
8. What you create stays yours
Your card sorts, rankings, reflection notes, and committed actions are yours. We claim no ownership of them and no license to them.
We also do not receive them. The Service has no accounts and no server of ours. Everything you create stays on your device unless you turn on optional sync to your own iCloud or Google Drive account, or export a file yourself. The Privacy Policy at myvaluescardsort.com/app/privacy explains this in full and forms part of these Terms.
Because your data is held on your device and in your own accounts, keeping it is your responsibility. Deleting the app, losing the device, or removing the synced folder removes the data, and we cannot recover it for you.
9. The card sort exercise, and credit
The exercise and the 83 cards come from the Personal Values Card Sort by W. R. Miller, J. C'de Baca, D. B. Matthews, and P. L. Wilbourne (2001), University of New Mexico. That work is in the public domain, and it is credited throughout the Service. Nothing in these Terms claims ownership of it, and nothing here restricts your use of the underlying public-domain material from its original source.
10. Our content
The design, code, original writing, illustrations, and printable materials we created are copyright 2026 Everyday Insight LLC. You may print and use the worksheets and card decks we provide for personal use, or with your own clients if you are a clinician. Please do not redistribute them as your own or sell them.
11. Acceptable use
Please do not:
- copy, resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Service
- reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except where that restriction is unenforceable where you live
- use the Service to break the law, or to harm anyone
- attempt to interfere with the Service or gain access to systems or data that are not yours
12. Optional cloud sync and other third-party services
If you turn on sync, your sorts are stored in your own iCloud account (on iPhone and iPad) or your own Google Drive account (on Android). Those services are operated by Apple and Google, not by us, and their terms and privacy policies apply to that storage. We have no access to what is stored there and no control over those services.
The apps are distributed through the App Store and Google Play, and your use of those stores is governed by their own terms.
13. Availability and changes
The Service is provided free of charge. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of it, including optional features such as sync, at any time. We are not obliged to keep any particular feature running.
14. No warranty
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any given time, or that any result, insight, or outcome will follow from using it.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
15. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Everyday Insight LLC and anyone working with us will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised that such damages are possible.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred United States dollars (US $100).
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
16. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Everyday Insight LLC from claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs arising from your misuse of the Service or your breach of these Terms.
If you are a clinician or other professional using the Service with clients, this also covers claims arising from that use, including claims brought by a client of yours.
This does not apply to claims arising from our own acts or omissions.
17. Governing law and where disputes are heard
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and both of us consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
If you are a consumer resident in a jurisdiction whose law gives you the right to bring proceedings locally, or grants you protections that cannot be waived by agreement, nothing here removes those rights.
18. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. When we do, the updated version is posted at myvaluescardsort.com/app/terms with a new date. If a change is significant, the apps will ask you to accept the new version the next time you open them. Continuing to use the Service after an update means you accept it.
19. If the two documents disagree
Where these Terms and the Privacy Policy overlap, the Privacy Policy governs how your data is handled, and these Terms govern everything else.
The Service is available in English and Spanish. These Terms are written in English, and the English version governs if a translation differs.
20. Severability
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, that part is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force.
21. What survives
The sections on what you create, our content, no warranty, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law continue to apply after you stop using the Service, and after any suspension or termination of your license.
22. Entire agreement
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service. They replace anything said elsewhere, including on the website, in support email, or in any description of the app on the App Store or Google Play.
23. No waiver
If we do not enforce part of these Terms on one occasion, that is not a waiver of it, and we may still enforce it later.
24. Assignment
You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours to a successor, for example if Everyday Insight LLC is sold or reorganised, and the Terms continue to apply.
25. Additional terms for the App Store
These terms are required by Apple and apply to the iPhone and iPad app.
- These Terms are between you and Everyday Insight LLC only, and not with Apple. We alone are responsible for the app and its content.
- Your license to use the app is limited to a non-transferable license to use it on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- We alone are responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the app. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services.
- We alone are responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim relating to the app, including product liability claims, any claim that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or privacy law.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the app infringes that party's intellectual property rights.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a United States government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not listed on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance Apple will have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
